Greetings all, I've been a member of the Easton Press group for a few years, but I'm starting to branch out into Frankin Library also. I was wondering if anyone here has a copy of the FL "The Tale of Genji: The Uji Chapters". From the title it sounds like this does not contain the full Tale of Genji, but I just want to confirm. I am trying to compare this with the new Genji offering from EP here: http://www.eastonpress.com/prod/678/THE-TALE-OF-GENJI_3085?cm_st=2&cm_s=ps:3..., which appears to be the complete tale.

Also compare to the new FS Tale of the Genji which appears to be complete. Notice that it contains 54 paintings compared to Easton's 8. I'm not familiar with the Franklin version.
